BSOD and Gigabyte Capacitors

Re: BSOD and Gigabyte Capacitors

With the PSU in Box, chances are it kills the Board without extra packaging, so its fine IMO...

Re: BSOD and Gigabyte Capacitors

should have asked them to send the psu over for u to recap as well. more money for ya! of course, u could just keep quiet and let the psu kill the mobo again and wait for them to send the board to u again in a few years lol... its good to have "regular customers" eh? hahaha!

Re: BSOD and Gigabyte Capacitors

Isn't this a psu issue as well? I mean, input caps toast but past the fets and coils the output caps remain decent? Seems like the voltage off the psu killed those Sanyos

Probably so, but not having the PSU here I have no way of verifying. Of course I'll recommend replacing the PSU as I normally do.

Re: BSOD and Gigabyte Capacitors

The teapos are also trashed too. The pannies are the only survivors, but given their age, I'll replace them anyway.

No they are not, look closer

Re: BSOD and Gigabyte Capacitors

I know, right? Got a MSI K9MM-V in today with a few bulging WF-series Sanyo's. Rare indeed.

...and even funnier, the Teapo's in the background are fine (although probably dried up as Teapo's tend to fail).

Re: BSOD and Gigabyte Capacitors

windows software? is he aware most drivers can override the mac address of the onboard mac

I really don't know. I was just told there's specific software bound to MAC addresses...and since I don't service anything beyond the motherboard, I asked no more.

Well, they're not going to live forever... then what?

Not really my problem....but as long as I can recap them, I'm glad to take their money!

Re: BSOD and Gigabyte Capacitors

copy the mac over or hack the software?
i'm assuming the software is obsolete or the company that wrote it is toast.

Corporate client with software married to the MAC address. These boards are irreplaceable to them.

Re: BSOD and Gigabyte Capacitors

not if the software protection is written properly,
it will pull the mac from the bios or internal serial bus.

and the ones beyond the regs are fine. might be PSU related in this case as mentioned above

god who would want to fix such an old mobo. most the CPU's it can take are beaten by $59 haswell chips

scratch that, make it a skylake (for W7 compatibility), $42, double power. Most boards with decent polymer caps (and yeah cheap ones with apaq polys)

bulging sanyos? thats rare.

Re: BSOD and Gigabyte Capacitors

always check inside your psu when the mobo caps fail.

Re: BSOD and Gigabyte Capacitors

bulging sanyos? thats rare. A little tight depending on how close they are together (increase from 10mm to 12.5)

the 16v is fine, as long as the impedance is lower and mA s higher. rest looks good

Re: BSOD and Gigabyte Capacitors

Hello,
I have a Gigabyte k8nsc-939 mainboard too with some kind of unstability problems.

The Gigabyte k8nsc-939 has some bulging capacitors:

Chemi-con KZG 3300uF 6.3V 12mOhm 2800mA (10mm diameter)

and also a Gigabyte 8PE667 with:

Sanyo WG 1500uF 16V 13mOhm 2550mA (10mm diameter)

Could I safely switch from the Chemi-con KZG to :

Panasonic FR 3300uF 16v 13mOhm 3630mA (12.5mm diameter) ?

or from the Sanyo WG 1500uF 16V to :

Panasonic FM 1500uF 16V 18mOhm 2600mA (12.5mm diameter) or

Panasonic FM 1500uF 25V 15mOhm 3190mA (12.5mm diameter) ? Which would be better choice of this last?

Thanks..

Re: BSOD and Gigabyte Capacitors

Great work and welcome to Badcaps!
P.S: We love pics of stuff that has been repaired

Re: BSOD and Gigabyte Capacitors

I have a Gigabyte ga-k8nsc-939 motherboard that I use for video editing.
Overtime this system became more and more unstable ("safely removing" USB stick was a guaranteed freeze).
Thanks to this post I did identify 7 bad caps, ordered replacement on DigiKey (Nichicon HZ) and after replacement the system is very stable again.

Thank you again all contributors
